Temple of Mystery

(xuanmiaoguan)
 
 

Temple of Mystery is found north of the Suzhou Bazaar area. It is a charming old temple that dates back to the 3rd century. The Sanxing Dian hall is considered to be one of the oldest Daoist temple halls in China. In the temple there are paintings and clay statues of Daoist deities, saints and symbols.

For centuries, the temple was the meeting place for travelling performers and tradesmen who entertained the crowds and the same spirit is somewhat reconstructed by the hustle and bustle of the nearby Bazaar.
